If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Okon is just not getting the best out of his players.
From the Ramble interview I can't help but wonder if he tries to give his players too much autonomy on the pitch. Which is why none of them look like they have any goddamn idea what they're doing.

Pretty sure Okon is thinking what we're all saying here....'the f**k is wrong with these clowns? They get on the piss this morning or something?'

Actually, scratch that. From my experience in the lower tiers of All Age (and I'm sure others would agree from experience!) half the time being hungover/still drunk somehow gets people to play better. Might help our guys get out of their heads.

Also, that last play from Hoole. Nothing is going to happen with that one, why pass it to the player with 2 on them. I really feel like we need to keep it simple. For a possession team, we could probably do better with the frequent short passes.

I also think none of our players seem to be aware of the value of drawing defenders out of position to create space for other players.

Starting to think last week was less of a 'blip' and more of a 'new look mariners' - we're f**kimg dire to watch front and back now - so i suppose the team has found a certain balance.

Random first half thoughts. 1) Turns out Baro's organisational skills are underrated. 2) I miss the old NYL. Having Rose and Roux come in with limited football under their belts means they look off the pace massively. How hard is it to have a decent reserve competition that runs the length of the season? 3) We need a real left back. 4) Would like to see Skapetis on at half time.

Hoping to see Skeps replace Wales by the time the 2H kicks off. Not up to it today
Agree. I think Wales has a place off the bench, but I don't think he's 'earned his stripes' enough to keep getting a start. He's had a few chances and still hasn't lifted to the level he needs to play at.
He seems lost out there.
I don't think any other team in the league would give players so many chances.

Jesus f**k who the f**k is training corners with them? Both Hoole and Wales had decent corners in them for their first couple of games, then went to shit. Outs almost like the coaching is breaking them.
